Getting Hitched

A Hitchcock Retrospective

Thursdays & Sundays • January 1–June 14, 2026

The Hi-Pointe rings in 2026 by celebrating Alfred Hitchcock with a 16-film retrospective that commences on New Year’s Day and continues through mid-June. Hopscotching across the Master of Suspense’s long and storied career, which stretched from the silent era through the New Hollywood of the 1970s, the series includes a trio of his precedent-setting British works but focuses on Hitchcock’s absurdly fertile American period.

The Thursday matinees for six of the films – Blackmail, The 39 Steps, Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious, Rear Window, and Vertigo – will feature introductions and post-film discussions by Cliff Froehlich, former Riverfront Times film critic and retired executive director of Cinema St. Louis. These discussion screenings are generously sponsored by St. Louis Oasis. Froehlich will likely make surprise appearances at a few additional screenings – we’ll keep you in suspense – and he also contributes the synopses for the entire film series.
